YADE Installation

  • YADE can be installed using the interactive installer GUI for Windows and Linux servers (with X-Servers).
  • YADE can be installed from the command line using an installer parameter file.

1. Requirements

  • Starting from release 1.9 an Oracle or openJDK Java Runtime Environment 1.8 or newer is required.
  • Starting from release 1.6.4043 an Oracle Java Runtime Environment 1.7 or newer is required.
  • Starting from release 1.3.7 an Oracle Java Runtime Environment 1.6 or newer is required.

2. Download YADE installer

  • Download the YADE Client and transfer it to the server. You could use wget to download YADE directly on that server.
test@wilma:~/install> ls -la

3. Unzip the YADE installer

test@wilma:~/install> gunzip jade_client.1.8.tar.gz
test@wilma:~/install> tar xvf jade_client.1.8.tar
jade_client.1.8/install_jade_client.txt
jade_client.1.8/jade_client.1.8.jar
jade_client.1.8/jade_client_install.xml
jade_client.1.8/licence.gpl
jade_client.1.8/setup.sh

test@wilma:~/install> ls
jade_client.1.8

test@wilma:~/install> cd jade_client.1.8

test@wilma:~/install/jade_client.1.8> ls -la
drwxr-xr-x. 2 test users     4096 Jan 15 12:08 .
drwxrwxr-x. 3 test users     4096 Jan 15 11:57 ..

4. Prepare the installer parameter file

  • Change the installpath tag in the jade_client_install.xml file and set the absolute installation path according to where you want to install YADE.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<!--
XML configuration file for YADE Client setup

you accept at the same time the terms of the

</AutomatedInstallation>

5. Run the installer

  • It is strongly recommended that you are not logged in as root
  • It is not mandatory to install YADE with root permissions.
  • The setup.sh script has the option -u
    • If you use the option -u then the installer is started with the current user.
      In this case, you have to make sure that this user has sufficient write permissions to create the installation path.
    • If you don't use the option -u then the installer calls sudo to get root permissions. The current user has to be configured as sudoer.
      In this case the installation path is arbitrary.
Setup with option -u
[test@wilma jade_client.1.8-RC1]$ ./setup.sh -u jade_client_install.xml
java -Dizpack.mode=privileged -jar ./jade_client.1.8.jar jade_client_install.xml
